I had this problem today. Everything look good then it suddenly failed to display the packet screen. Quit and re-launch termshark does not help. Re-install termshark does not help either.
Is there a way to recover this ?

I've a related issue. The packet details disappear sometimes after clicking on the expand (+) button in the packet details list. Only happens when a capture is being done, not when opening an existing pcap file.
I am running 2.4.0 on Debain unstable with XTerm(390).
